    Just installed that rack on my camper shell. Happy with it so far, looks great. I didn’t follow all the instructions apparently, forgot to put some of the trim bits in and it whistles a little going down the road. Thankfully didn’t thrown the bits away.

    Got a local shop to cut out the OEM and weld in a Flowmaster 50 muffler. No drone, not obnoxious but a nice grumble when it counts. Overly pretty happy on a budget

    Thanks for the heads up ... had no clue about this. One nice thing that the 2022+ owners won't have to worry about.

    Got the Bakflip and Bedrug installed yesterday. Love the Bedrug, so much easier on this old body than the existing Rhino lining.

    Added Tech 12volts auto start. Great product and fantastic customer service! Highly recommend buying from them! Also preordered HRS tail lights. Their sight says maybe they will be in stock before 2/30/22.

    Friend with a garage. It did cost me a few whiskeys, but he provided the pizza.

    I took some time to replace the Tundra's hollow front sway bar with the solid TRD version. It took longer than anticipated as I had to get the TRD skid plate off. Overall, a quick and easy job and it does tighten up the roll a bit and might even help with diving. I'll have to drive it more to get the full experience.

    Using the garage that's never used as a garage - tight fit!

    IMG_1135-1-2223568_ed2e5a959351b68c4693cfd2d23e65b2ec9dce57.jpg

    Had to remove the skid plate.

    IMG_1136-2223550_86b61b382f8ee24b1d8698ba3e051daeb9e0ebcb.jpg

    Job complete!

    IMG_1148-2223553_490d10bfb748853b19a4cc299941017872a6c0c6.jpg

    TRD plate has some touch up required to get rid of that surface rust from the tow hooks and some frame rust in the same spot before it's reinstalled.

    Seems like a decent amount of rust for a 21, but maybe it’s just me. NOVA definitely has some humidity though too.

    I just bought this '21 and it's the first time I've been under it. At least it has a 3-yr warranty. :)

    I got my ‘21 last December so I never had the opportunity to spray it with fluid film before it’s first winter. Mine had rust in the same spot when I took the tow hooks off to have them powder coated. I just took a wire brush to that spot then sprayed it with paint before I reinstalled the hooks.

    If I waxed my truck today, the doors wouldn't open for the next couple of weeks. It is too cold to do any of that right now. Don't worry about the Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion, when it gets down this low it is pretty much the same thing.

    Lots of shenanigans.
    Man ole man, I have been working on the Yota like crazy since I got the ole Rona. I swapped out to the black trim and had my girlfriend sew the leather on it. I also did the radio knob, DIY center console charger, swapped the rear plug to USB, and plan on putting the SDHQ ABS guards on tomorrow (Pics tomorrow).

    On a side note, I noticed that the steering wheel trim pieces come with the right side open. I contacted AJT to see if they can send an insert, if they can't what have others done to cover it?

    Hey,
    I’m planning to do this exactly where/tire combo except in 18 inch. How’s it ride so far? Do you wish you when small tire size? Do you have a matching spare 35 inch and does it fit under the bed?

    Thank you! Looks awesome!

    Nice work! So the TRD Pro doesn't come stock with the TRD front sway bar? Kind of ironic, isn't it? Does it come stock on anything, or does it just exist as an OEM add-on? I guess I just assumed that a TRD Pro would come with all the TRD things...
